Digital Technology

We are all so lucky at Mearns Nursery, as we have some fantastic resources for us all to use to help us learn.  Here we are using some iPads to play Codeapillar, Scratch Junior and Beebots.  It is so much fun to be able to explore these resources together.

Then last week we were super excited to receive a set of indi spheros which are a lot faster than our Beebots. We had great fun learning how to use them and giving them a go!

Marvellous Maps

This week we have created our own maps as part of our Mearns Masters Coders Pathway.  We had to decide where we were travelling from and where we were travelling to and show this to our friends.

Using the direction cards we showed which way we would go on our journey.  Some were keen to go shopping at Silverburn but couldn’t find a parking space.  Others wanted to go to the sweetie shop!

We had fun playing with the toy cars on our maps and pretending to go on journeys using direction words.
